Abstract
In September, the international sports medicine community lost one of its rising stars. Editorial board member Alexandra Kirkley, MD, (more commonly known as Sandy), 40, and her husband, Michael, 42, died when their small plane crashed en route to their home in London, Ontario, Canada, from a presentation she was giving at the West Point Academy in New Jersey. Their sons, Colin (age 8) and Connor (age 5), miraculously survived the crash through the heroic efforts of rescuers and others.
